I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

@H1F1_M4N Don't have the K7XX but have the K702, they're similar but not identical. The easiest way to describe the differences *in general* is the larger soundstage, faster sound and brighter sound on the K7XX. Also as you probably already know, the HD650 are difficult to drive, but the K7XX are just as difficult to drive but in a different way. HD650 is best with an amp that can output a lot of power between 300 and 500 ohms, with high output impedance. K7XX is best with an amp that can output a lot of power between 62 and 68 ohms, with low output impedance.
The K702 is great with a warm tube amp. Although a friend of mine prefers a SS amp with them, and his preferences are exact opposite to mine, the K702 is his all time favorite headphone and he hates the HD650.
By the way, about the “headphone of my dream”, I thought it could be a HD800s or a LCD X (from what I heard), or maybe a Stax with a tube amp.. but only God knows whenever I will be able to buy the (holy) Stax... :/
